8) I would like that in my display.
That's a great find KamHillbilly,
Amazing fuel oil mix ratio...12:1 with SAE 50W-60W non detergent motor oil
Manual?? :o That would be worth as much as the saw.
quite a few other older saws also pioneers , PM Canadien , stihl these were his fathers saws from his early logging years . Hopefully its the manual for this saw would be classic
Is the front handle also the bar oil reservoir?

Sure looks like it, interesting.
Found the manual for the saw I believe sure looks the same , copyright date on manual 1947 . As far as the handle as the oil res looks like it Ill check it out tonite when in in garage .
I used to have a small collection of saws from around that vintage, some ran, some didn't. What they all did just from handling them, was to give you some appreciation of how tough the loggers were back then.

You got that right , that's when men were men . I put a day felling with my 670 and my 372xp and I'm beat and sore. I can not imagine dragging that around
